Challenges of Social Health Insurance in Low- and Lower-Middle Income Countries: Balancing Limited Budgets and Pressure to Provide Universal Health Coverage

Challenges of Social Health Insurance in Low- and Lower-Middle Income Countries: Balancing Limited Budgets and Pressure to Provide Universal Health Coverage

For the vast majority of people living in low- and lower-middle income countries (LMICs) where governments are not providing universal health coverage (UHC) and without financial protection coverage, they must rely on out-of-pocket payments in cases of health emergencies or serious illness. When a health crisis arises, they may have to make impossible decisions: forego care and risk ill health or even death, or face catastrophic health expenditure, which may expose entire families to financial hardship and force them into poverty. Estimates suggest that around one-tenth of the global population spends more than 10 percent of their household consumption on health care. To protect individual and households against financial risks, the United Nations is urging countries to achieve UHC by 2030, and the World Health Organization, the World Bank, and others have encouraged LMICs to introduce health financing schemes that will expand health coverage across populations. But how feasible are these recommendations in practice, and do LMIC governments and ministries of health have the tools at hand to raise the funds needed without discounting the potentially large administrative burden of premium collection? Our team, a collaboration between the London School of Economics and independent researchers, is engaging in a project that aims to understand the cost of collecting health insurance contributions, particularly from the informal sector, and its determinants.

What options are available to LMIC governments?

With the importance of UHC now widely accepted in countries around the world, policymakers and health sector technocrats face the difficult task of implementation. One complex challenge is to determine the underlying financing mechanism for a country’s health system, with health and finance ministries negotiating funding for health at a time when donors are transitioning away from “traditional” aid. The impact of COVID-19 on economic performance is only likely to intensify the challenge; the pandemic has led to a reduction of GDP across developing countries by at least 3 percent compared with 2019, and significant income shocks to families, particularly those from lower income groups. Recent events are likely to carry spill-over effects on countries’ decision-making as they work to set up systems that will facilitate UHC, whether financed through general taxation, labour taxes, or mandatory insurance premiums. But are there lessons from developing countries that could guide the current adoption of health financing schemes?

Labour-tax based social health insurance schemes

A popular choice for LMICs is labour-tax based social health insurance, which is believed to raise additional revenues for health care services from contributions paid for in the formal sector in part by employees and employers. Social health insurance was originally adopted by the Prussian state in the late 19th century and spread to countries in Latin America and Africa. But it was quickly adjusted as it underperformed in securing enough financial resources to comprehensively finance health systems. Similarly, when Eastern European countries and the former Soviet Union first shifted to social health insurance in the early 1990s, expectations were not met because of the significant administrative burden posed by contribution collection.

National health insurance schemes

Based on the lessons learned from these experiences, today most countries opt for mixed national health insurance schemes, whereby contributions are not the primary source of health care financing. Instead, LMICs that have started contributory schemes often feature large tax-financed subsidies, which in turn creates a system that combines contribution payments and general government revenues called national health insurance. For example, the national health insurance scheme in Ghana is financed through 2.5 percent payroll deductions from formal sector employees, a 2.5 percent tax on certain goods and services, and premiums for informal sector workers ranging between $8 and $53. National health insurance schemes are thought to improve equity and reduce barriers to access in LMICs through two features: pooling (whereby financial risk is spread across the population) and pre-payment (the collection of financial resources in anticipation of service use rather than out-of-pocket payments when health care is consumed). Accordingly, a growing number of LMICs are considering rolling out national health insurance schemes. For example Malawi, Madagascar, and Zambia are currently developing national health insurance legislation. However, national health insurance schemes also feature several key challenges that decision-makers should consider when weighing health financing choices.

Challenges with social or national health insurance schemes in LMICs

First, in their quest to move towards UHC, many countries have opted to collect contributions from the population, believing this to be an additional, untapped source of revenue. However, compared with high-income countries, many LMICs operate in a very constrained fiscal space. This may also be coupled with large sectors of society operating in the informal economy, where it can be challenging to rely on contributions as a reliable source of revenue. According to the ILO, informal employment without taxable income can account for up to three-quarters of all employment in parts of Africa and Asia, making the collection of revenues particularly challenging. Moreover, in the case of social health insurance, it is possible that contribution collection from formal employment in LMICs may hinder the formalisation of the labour market, questioning the economic sustainability of social health insurance schemes. Second, the size of the contribution pool matters for redistributive health spending with an aim to provide UHC, specifically when countries are small such as those in central Asia or in the Pacific. It is possible that countries with a small workforce will be unable to raise sufficiently large revenues to pay for UHC. Finally, if contribution collection is indeed justified in terms of providing additional resources to fund service delivery, for this to be worthwhile the amount collected from the population would need to exceed the cost of collection by a substantial margin so that most of it ultimately went to fund services. Unfortunately, the administrative costs of national health insurance schemes, and the costs of collecting contributions from the population are rarely considered. Ministries of health are not revenue-raising entities and may lack the infrastructure and capacity to effectively carry out contribution collection. This means that they must build revenue collection systems from scratch and will not benefit from the revenue generation (e.g., income tax, sales tax, etc.) mechanisms that already exist. This will require outreach across the country, with staff hired for the purpose, and the creation of accounting and fraud-management systems. Partnerships with mobile money operators, or banks, are other possible routes which may extend reach, but they may also incur high costs. It is possible that countries that have seen major digital identification initiatives over recent years could reduce operational costs and improve population targeting, as witnessed in the efforts made in Andhra Pradesh, India to adopt digital IDs, mobile communications and financial inclusion. Generally, successful contribution collection requires adequate systems of accountability and strong administrative, financial, and information and technology capabilities.

Ongoing research and policy engagement

Previous research assessing the severity of the challenges of contribution collection from the informal sector is limited. Preliminary work suggests variation in revenue spent on administrative costs that ranges from 4.8 percent of revenue in Indonesia to 11.2 percent of revenue in Ghana. This is an important area of work to inform future policy directions for LMICs aiming to progress towards UHC. Our team is engaging in a project to work collaboratively with ministries of health and national health insurers in LMICs, which have established contributory mechanisms to carry out analytical work.

Our contribution to this research

We seek to answer a series of questions: What are the costs of collecting social health insurance contributions in LMICs? How dependent is the cost of collection on the means of collection? How do costs compare with the size of the contributions being charged? And lastly, is there a level of economic development at which the amount to collect contributions becomes cost-effective, and if so, at what level of economic performance in terms of GDP per capita does global experience suggest that would that be the case? Our aim is to carry out a cross-country analysis of the amount of revenue collected by national health insurance schemes in the form of contributions from clients, against the cost of collecting those contributions. This will be more than an academic exercise; it will be part of a learning agenda in collaboration with ministries of health and insurance agencies. This project will benefit from cross-country and cross-stakeholder contributions and we would be keen to connect with anyone working this area or with relevant contacts to stakeholders or access to data. As LMICs are at the crossroads between donor exit and pressure to provide UHC to its population, the question of health system financing is more important than ever. So, watch this space for future developments. The team would like to thank Inke Mathauer (WHO), Kalipso Chalkidou (CGD), and Jonty Roland for their feedback on this and other documents.

10 mispronounced country names | Atlas & Boots

From Kiribati to Kyrgyzstan, we list the most commonly mispronounced country names.

When Donald Trump mispronounced Namibia as ‘Nambia’ in 2017, he became the subject of widespread ridicule. Journalists wondered if he meant Zambia or Gambia while social media users mocked up memes and one enterprising tweeter took the opportunity to pitch a new title to Lonely Planet.

We at Atlas & Boots took pity on Trump for we have mispronounced a country or two in our time as travellers.

In our most recent video, Peter mispronounces the Gasherbrum Range as Gasherbrown despite being well aware of what it’s actually called (he spends enough time reading and dreaming about mountains, believe me). This led us to examine some of the most commonly mispronounced country names – listed below to stop you making a faux pas should you, like Trump, find yourself lunching with the country’s president.

1. Kiribati

Wrong: kiribati Right: kiribass (link)

Dreamstime Kiribati is one of the most commonly mispronounced country names

When we set off across the South Pacific as part of our trip around the world, we tried to engineer a way to get to Kiribati. Sadly, it was just too difficult logistically and so we shelved it for a later date. Its remote location may explain why Kiribati is one of the least visited countries in the world (and why no one knows how to say its name).

Comprising 33 islands, the country has a total land area of 800km2 but is spread over 3.5 million km2 of ocean. This means that Kiribati is the only country in the world to fall into all four hemispheres, straddling the equator and extending into the eastern and western hemispheres.

2. Qatar

Wrong: cut-taar Right: cut-ta (link)

No8/Shutterstock Qatar is pronounced more like ‘cutter’

In 2017, Peter and I met an American academic on our trip to Djibouti (pronounced jibooti). He told us about his time in ‘cutter’ and it took us a moment to realise that he meant Qatar. We assumed he had mispronounced the name.

We were chastened then to find out recently that it was not he but we that had been mispronouncing Qatar. The second syllable is slightly elongated, but not as much as we thought, making the name more ‘cutter’ than ‘cut-TAAR’.

3. Lesotho

Wrong: leh-soh-toh Right: leh-soo-too (link)

Lukas Bischoff/Shutterstock The hairpinned Sani Pass in Lesotho

We visited Lesotho in 2018 and I was surprised to learn that it was pronounced leh-soo-too and not leh-soh-toh. It’s not the only thing that surprised me about the country. I knew little of Lesotho before our visit and I’ll admit that I expected a dusty bowl of a country caught like a fly in South Africa’s fist. What I found was lush folds of velvet green and dramatic scenery that could have been plucked from Lord of the Rings.

I was also surprised to learn that Lesotho is the ‘world’s highest country’… sort of. It has the ‘highest lowest point’ of any other country: 1,400m (4,593ft), hence its nickname ‘Kingdom of the Sky’.

4. Kyrgyzstan

Wrong: ker-jis-tan Right: ker-gis-tan (link)

LightField Studios/Shutterstock Kyrgyzstan has been dubbed the Switzerland of Central Asia

Kyrgyzstan is one of only two countries that lie on average above 2,000m (6,561ft), the other being Lesotho. The mountainous Tian Shan region covers 80% of the country, earning it the moniker ‘Switzerland of Central Asia’.

Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country (one of 45 in the world), but does benefit from Issyk-Kul, the world’s second largest high-altitude lake (behind Lake Titicaca in South America).

5. Niger

Wrong: nye-gah Right: nee-zher (link)

Catay/Shutterstock Niger takes its name from the Niger River

Like Kyrgyzstan, Niger is a landlocked country. The country takes its name from the Niger River, which flows through the southwestern part of its territory. The name Niger comes from the phrase gher n-gheren, meaning ‘river among rivers’ in the Tamashek language.

Niger is rated by the UN as one of the world’s least-developed nations. It is the fourth poorest country in the world. Moreover, basic rights issues such as slavery – which was only banned in 2003 – are an enduring problem.

6. Colombia

Wrong: col-um-bia Right: col-om-bia (link)

Mark Pitt/Shutterstock Colombia is one of the most commonly mispronounced country names

Colombia is the only American nation that is named after Christopher Columbus, the ‘discoverer’ of the New World. It is a country of remarkable diversity in terms of flora and fauna and is classified as one of only 17 ‘megadiverse’ countries. In fact, it’s the world’s second most biodiverse country, after Brazil which is 10 times its size.

7. Laos

Wrong: laow or laow-oss Right: louse (link, US pronunciation)

Nathapon Triratanachat/Shutterstock Laos is one of the world’s few remaining communist states

Landlocked Laos is one of the world’s few remaining communist states, the others being China, Cuba and Vietnam.

Agriculture is the mainstay of the country’s economy but expansion has been curbed by the vast quantities of unexploded bombs that litter arable land – dropped mostly by the US military during the Vietnam War. As such, only a small portion of the country’s farmable land has been cultivated.

8. Liechtenstein

Wrong: lich-ten-stine Right: lick-ten-stine (link)

Stifos/Shutterstock Liechtenstein is pronounced with a hard ‘c’

Liechtenstein is a tiny doubly-landlocked country that lies between Switzerland and Austria, both of which are themselves landlocked. Liechtenstein is considered one of the safest countries in the world; its prison population currently stands at a total of 12 (although those serving longer than two years do so in Austria or Switzerland).

Liechtenstein is known as a tax haven, but has in recent years taken steps to rebrand itself as a legitimate financial hub.

9. St Kitts & Nevis

Wrong: nev-iss Right: nee-viss (link)

Sean Pavone/Shutterstock Nevis Peak on Nevis Island (pronounced nee-viss)

The Caribbean islands of St Kitts and Nevis gained independence from Britain in 1983. There was some ensuing discontent, but a 1998 referendum in Nevis failed to secure the two-thirds majority needed to break away and so the islands remain together.

Today, they offer a tropical paradise far from the madding crowd. We visited Nevis in 2013 and found an island of pretty beaches and dramatic views, not least of Nevis Peak, a stratovolcano that rises to a height of 985m (3,232ft).

10. Nepal

Wrong: neh-paal Right: ni-paul (link)

Atlas & Boots The summit of Mount Everest seen from base camp

Bordered by China and India, Nepal is home to eight of the world’s highest mountains including Mount Everest (which may explain why it’s officially Peter’s favourite country). He visited earlier this year and was enchanted by the Himalayan scenery.

Sadly, despite its income from tourism, Nepal remains one of the poorest countries in Asia. In April 2015, a devastating earthquake killed thousands of people and destroyed numerous heritage sites and villages. Billions of dollars have been pledged, but political infighting has delayed much of the reconstruction.

Govt has no enterprise to be in enterprise; divest mining corporations NMDC, HZL: Anil Agarwal to PM Modi

http://tinyurl.com/y6key2kq New Delhi: Anil Agarwal, the scrap steel vendor turned billionaire metals tycoon, has advised Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the Centre ought to privatise 5 mining corporations together with NMDC to save lots of among the $400 billion that India spends yearly on imports, saying the federal government has no enterprise to be within the enterprise. The Vedanta Sources chairman, who was one of many three industrialists invited for a pre-Finances assembly that Modi had with over 40 economists and sectoral specialists on 22 June, additionally mentioned privatisation with out job loss might help enhance the financial system by bringing in effectivity and elevating home output. The opposite two company honchos invited to the interplay have been Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran, who gave suggestions on manufacturing and companies sectors, and ITC Chairman Sanjiv Puri, who spoke on worth addition within the financial system. Agarwal gave strategies on mining and pure assets. “I used to be honoured to be a part of the interplay organised by Niti Aayog on Saturday and in my humble submission I advised the Prime Minister that the federal government has no enterprise to be within the enterprise. It ought to divest its stake in no less than 5 PSUs resembling Hindustan Zinc, Hindustan Copper, Kolar Gold, Uranium Company, Transport Company of India and NMDC,” he advised PTI in an interview. Privatisation with out job loss is nice, he mentioned. “After we purchased majority stake in Hindustan Zinc Ltd, it had 5,000 workers. As we speak it has 25,000 workers,” he added. Vedanta had acquired 64.9 % authorities stake in Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) throughout 2002-2003. The federal government continues to carry 29.5 % stake in HZL, which the corporate needs to purchase. Agarwal mentioned India’s import invoice of $400 billion will quickly be $1 trillion if it doesn’t ramp up manufacturing of oil and gasoline, minerals and metals resembling gold. “If we are able to double the oil manufacturing and lift gold output to 300 tonnes, your complete present account deficit (CAD) might be worn out,” he mentioned. A file picture of Anil Agarwal. Picture courtesy: Twitter/@AnilAgarwal_Ved His different strategies included giving autonomy to public sector corporations and banks by bringing down authorities holding to 50 % and making them board-run similar to Petronet LNG Ltd, the nation’s largest pure gasoline importer. Mining in 200 blocks must be accepted instantly and large blocks of coal, bauxite, copper and iron ore must be auctioned, he mentioned, including there must be no manufacturing cap resembling ones present in Goa and Karnataka on iron ore. Elevated mining can add $500 billion to the financial system and create two crore jobs, he emphasised. Present oil block contracts must be prolonged on the identical phrases and no retrospective tax must be imposed. Additionally, all forest and setting clearances ought to are available in 60 days and company tax must be lowered to 20 % from present 30 %, Agarwal mentioned. Pure assets and electronics maintain large potential to create jobs, he mentioned, including India ought to give attention to sustainable exploitation of underground assets. Agarwal, the founder and majority-owner of Vedanta Sources, mentioned the federal government ought to make public sector corporations and banks impartial by making them board-run similar to British Airways and GE. “All PSUs and PSBs can carry out 3 times higher if autonomy is given to them,” he mentioned. “PSUs have enormous potential and immense expertise pool. However the executives are afraid to take selections due to worry of inquiries. They need to be empowered to take selections.” Agarwal, whose journey from scrap steel vendor to metals tycoon began in 1979 when he purchased an organization, mentioned the federal government ought to belief entrepreneurs and help their spirit to spice up the financial system and create jobs. Characterised by fast progress and daring deal-making, Agarwal is certainly one of India’s most distinguished self-made industrialists together with his group having pursuits in sectors starting from iron ore and copper to grease and gasoline, with operations throughout Australia and Zambia, in addition to his house nation. Within the assembly on June 22, specialists shared their views, in 5 distinct teams, on the themes of macro-economy and employment, agriculture and water assets, exports, training, and well being. The assembly got here within the backdrop of India’s financial progress slowing to a five-year low on a dip in industrial and manufacturing output numbers, falling cars gross sales and lowered home oil consumption. Agrarian disaster and unemployment are another challenges that the federal government is extensively anticipated to confront via coverage initiatives within the Finances to be offered on 5 July.

The turnover was $17 billion in the first seven months of this year. Some new barriers to business, however, remain. The country has not witnessed many large-scale new foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in this sector this year as was seen three years ago. However, foreign investors are seen expanding their existing projects, according to a report in an English-language online newspaper in Vietnam. The ministry of industry and trade has cautioned that export markets have increased their trade remedies against Vietnamese products. India, for example, imposed a tax of 35-45 per cent on elastomeric filament yarn. While South Korean enterprise Long Thai Tu Yarn will invest $50 million to expand its workshop in Long Khanh industrial zone (IZ) in Dong Nai province, Trillions Enterprise from Brunei, which has a dyeing and weaving factory in Tan Duc IZ in Long An province, wants five more hectares to scale up production. Taiwanese Far Eastern has registered additional investment capital of $485.8 million, raising its total investment in Bau Bang IZ to $760 million after two years of operation. Among the Vietnamese firms that have stepped up investment, Bao Minh Textile has invested $75 million in a cloth-making unit in Nam Dinh that is likely to become operational by March 2018. Though companies no longer expect nil tax, Vietnam remains a big garment exporter globally, according to VITAS chairman Vu Duc Giang. VITAS feels besides the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), Vietnam’s textile and garment industry enjoys benefits from other free trade agreements, including the ones with the European Union (EU), South Korea and Japan. Vietnam holds only 3 per cent of the EU market share in this sector. (

10 mispronounced country names | Atlas & Boots

From Kiribati to Kyrgyzstan, we list the most commonly mispronounced country names.

We at Atlas & Boots took pity on Trump for we have mispronounced a country or two in our time as travellers.

1. Kiribati

Wrong: kiribati Right: kiribass (link)

Dreamstime Kiribati is one of the most commonly mispronounced country names

2. Qatar

Wrong: cut-taar Right: cut-ta (link)

No8/Shutterstock Qatar is pronounced more like ‘cutter’

3. Lesotho

Wrong: leh-soh-toh Right: leh-soo-too (link)

4. Kyrgyzstan

Wrong: ker-jis-tan Right: ker-gis-tan (link)

LightField Studios/Shutterstock Kyrgyzstan has been dubbed the Switzerland of Central Asia

Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country (one of 45 in the world), but does benefit from Issyk-Kul, the world’s second largest high-altitude lake (behind Lake Titicaca in South America).

5. Niger

Wrong: nye-gah Right: nee-zher (link)

6. Colombia

Mark Pitt/Shutterstock Colombia is one of the most commonly mispronounced country names

8. Liechtenstein

Wrong: lich-ten-stine Right: lick-ten-stine (link)

Stifos/Shutterstock Liechtenstein is pronounced with a hard ‘c’

Liechtenstein is known as a tax haven, but has in recent years taken steps to rebrand itself as a legitimate financial hub.

9. St Kitts & Nevis

Wrong: nev-iss Right: nee-viss (link)
